    1989 325i m30 swapped in Chicago burbs

    I have my e30 for sale that i have owned for two years and last year i did the swap from a 1990 bmw e34 535, the transmission and diff and radiator i used was out of an e28 535. I bought my motor brackets from ebay.de and there perfect with the adjustments and have urethane mounts from Ireland engineering. The body has 160k and the motor around 85k. motor runs really strong and the transmission shifts like new with no grinds and the car is pretty fast.the car has some rust spot on fenders but i was going to change them anyways and a couple other small spots, the under body is very clean and i also changed the sunroof with one with no rust.The interior is very clean for an e30 and there is nothing needed in there. my plans with this was to make an track/street car but money isn't to great for anyone these days. i need to sell this asap so if price if out of your range make me an offer and we'll try and work something out. thanks

      I'm guessing that this is your car? Since you had two of the same ad on here. I deleted the other ad for you. And you may want to write up a better for sale ad on here, if it's your car, so people will know what they are looking at.

        What the fuck does a steering wheel have to do with an engine swap?

          No I think he has a good point, that steering wheel can not hold the extra power it needs to be upgraded.

                seems to me that you're asking too much for the car. Has the e28 engine vs. the better e34 engine, not to mention all the rust. Good luck getting 6k out of it ;)

                          The swap looks clean enough. .

                          Does the car have engine cooling issues? What do you have for auxiliary cooling?
